How tall is an English Foxhound?

What an English Foxhound’s height measures

Height is measured at the withers, the top of the shoulders. The head and ears extend above that line. The American Kennel Club breed profile gives 24 inches. The listing describes an adult dog, not a growth chart for puppies.

Ranked by the tallest height its standard names (24 in), the English Foxhound is the joint 105th tallest of the 297 dog breeds on this site. See the tallest dog breeds ranked.

Drawn at the same 24 in: Golden Retriever, Vizsla and Belgian Laekenois. Same drawing, different listings: a Golden Retriever’s and a Vizsla’s figures are each the top of its male range, a Belgian Laekenois’ the lower end of its male range.

This is a published species or breed reference, not a prediction for an individual animal. Where a range is supplied, both ends appear with the reading. Shoulder height and head height are kept apart when comparing animals.
